Woodman’s WoodVerberator extends standard convolution reverb by adding real-time manipulation of the impulse response playback. Users can import their own WAV files as impulse responses, then apply gating that follows the input signal’s envelope, modulation that shifts the IR in time and pitch, and dynamic filtering that responds to the input level. This transforms static IR captures into evolving, responsive effects far beyond simple convolution.
The plugin runs on iPhone and iPad as an AUv3 with standalone support, maintaining efficient processing through optimized convolution algorithms. Within hosts like AUM or Cubasis, users can automate the modulation parameters to create evolving spaces from single IR captures. The included IR library covers standard spaces like halls and plates alongside more exotic captures from mechanical and natural sources.
Additional processing features, while powerful, can significantly increase CPU usage, particularly with long impulse responses. Gating and envelope following require careful adjustment to avoid artifacts, with a learning curve steeper than standard convolution reverbs.
Key features include:
- Convolution reverb with user IR import (WAV format)
- Gating with envelope following for dynamic response
- Modulation for time and pitch shifting of IRs
- EQ and mix controls with frequency-dependent processing
- Factory IR library including exotic and standard spaces
